The present study implies that the use of HRV and DC potential are effective methods for monitoring stress levels in athletes. This was evidenced by the significant differences observed in vertical jump, vertical power, broad jump, and aerobic efficiency between experimental groups..

The main finding was that 3000-m running performance improved only in the HRV-guided training group over the 8-week intensive training period, by performing less moderate and high intensity training sessions compared with predefined training.

We’ve been looking for a tool that can support UFC athletes and help them better understand how their body is responding to the rigors of training, so they can prepare and recover optimally. For us, Omegawave is that answer.

Our congratulations to Andrey Zemledeltsev and Alexey Vladimirov, taekwondoists from Voronezh Taekwon-do Federation, who have recently won 2 gold medals during Cup of Russia in the city of Shakhty (Rostov Region). Overall there are 300 qualified athletes who represent 35 regions or Russia.Both Andrey and Alexey have embraced a smarter approach to training with Omegawave; as soon as their coaches started adjusting their training load based on Omegawave measurements, the athletes started achieving much better results.

The stress response process (see on the picture) consists of five stages.Stage 1 is the environmental demand; stage 2 is the athlete’s perception of the environmental demand; stage 3 is the stress response to the environmental demand; stage 4 is the behavioral consequences of the stress response to the behavioral demand; stage 5 is the return to a homeostatic position.Stress is a factor of life that affects everyone, but athletes tend to suffer from it more than non-athletes, due to the amount they are required to balance, between schoolwork, practices and games, as well as family pressures and everyday life.Reference: Reilly, T., & Williams, A.M. (2003). Science and soccer. New York, New York: Routledge (Tyler & Francis Group).If you take Omegawave measurements, your Stress Index and Recovery Pattern values will indicate how stressed you are and how well you recover.

In our previous post we listed the symptoms associated with mental fatigue.

The topic has resonated with many of you as we got lots of questions how to prevent the fatigue. Athlete monitoring is the key solution; Omegawave will provide you with objective and individual data that will never disappoint. Omegawave goes beyond HRV and measures your Central Nervous system as well.

Mental fatigue is defined as an acute increase in subjective ratings of fatigue and/or an acute decline in cognitive performance. It is induced by prolonged periods of demanding cognitive activity. This is not the fatigue that one achieves by not sleeping enough the night before. Nor is it the fatigue related with old age or disease. Mental fatigue is caused by engaging in activity that requires heavy mental focus for long enough to feel that your brain is dead tired.Reference: SMITH, M. R., MARCORA, S.M., Coutts, A.J. Mental Fatigue Impairs Intermittent Running Performance. American College of Sports Medicine. August 2015. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0000000000000592You can monitor your mental fatigue with Omegawave as it gives you objective data on your stress index and your recovery pattern. Also, on our website you will find a blog article how Omegawave helped to recover from chronic fatigue syndrome: www.omegawave.com/2016/04/12/push-crash-breaking-the-cycle-in-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/...

Congratulations to University of Iowa winning their first Big Ten title since 2011 with 116 team points!University of Iowa has been successfully using Omegawave technology for many years in practical coaching and academic research. An example of the latter is Kyle Peterson’s article “Resting heart rate variability can predict track and field sprint performance” where they found that DC potential possessed the strongest predictive power towards competitive sprint performance. ...
